Sang Qingxiao's second reaction was one of pity; perhaps it was due to having read too many stories of revenge in later generations that made him feel this way.
He who is destined for great responsibilities must first endure hardship, labor his body, and suffer hunger.
After turning eight, under the protection of the Xuande Emperor, Qi Xiaomian was already capable of standing on his own. According to Old Vine, he secretly had quite a few supporters; perhaps the underground forces he had cultivated were already not weaker than the Qi Family.
Sang Qingxiao asked, "Yuntie County isn't very large. The martial artists here, like Yun Ying, are all here for the Ouyang Family. You will inevitably encounter them again. If you meet them again, how do you plan to face them?"
Qi Xiaomian had already figured this out when he was very young.
He replied, "I won't pursue past grievances; that would be repaying a debt of life. However, if they dare to target me again, I will make them understand what it means to wish they were dead!"
"Look at you, so eager for a fight. You can't wait to clash with them again, can you?"
Qi Xiaomian smiled. "You know me well."
"I just thought about it from their perspective; if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't want them to have it easy either."
After sitting idly for a while longer, Sang Qingxiao finally brought up the main topic. "Let's talk about the Ouyang Family. I heard from Old Vine that it seems they were completely wiped out."
Qi Xiaomian explained, "The murderer selectively set fires and killed people. The female members of the Ouyang Family suffered few casualties, but only a few male descendants survived, and they were all seriously injured. Some are recuperating in Ji Tang in Yuntie County. I sent invitations according to the rules of the martial world but didn't see anyone."
Aside from the Ouyang Family members, several small families affiliated with them in Yezhou City also suffered greatly from the strange fire; indeed, more male descendants died than female members.
"Oh, so you're someone who understands how to cherish beauty," Sang Qingxiao remarked.
Qi Xiaomian continued, "A large number of Jianghu people are here for another important reason."
"What is it?"
"The Sword Appreciation Conference. The Ouyang Family had sent out invitations months ago; even the Court received a few copies. The invitations stated that the Ouyang Family had acquired a rare treasure and improved it significantly to forge an immortal sword. They would soon open the furnace and invited heroes from all over to come and appreciate it."
When the incident with the Ouyang Family occurred, many Jianghu people were already on their way there. Upon arriving at Yezhou and witnessing the Great Fire, they claimed they wanted to take revenge on the Ouyang Family; however, most likely, they were actually hoping to obtain that immortal sword.
"An immortal sword? Immortal?!" Sang Qingxiao chuckled. "It's just a weapon; can it really fly through heaven and earth? That's an exaggeration!"
Qi Xiaomian reminded him with a smile, "The weapons you crafted yourself can fly too."
"You're quite mischievous," Sang Qingxiao replied while shaking his head. "It's different; my weapon is enhanced with runes. In mythological stories, it's said that immortal artifacts possess consciousness; even without human assistance, they can think for themselves and require celestial energy during forging."
"How could an ordinary person possibly forge such a thing? It can't be that the Ouyang Family has celestial roots; that would be too ridiculous."
